    "Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, calling out toxic Republicans, politely-ineffectual Democrats, and mealy-mouthed media mavens in equal measure, JUSTICE IS COMING will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.
    The media can’t stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government has been taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.
    In JUSTICE IS COMING: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love It (On sale: September 19, 2023), The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.
    JUSTICE IS COMING, a compulsively readable manifesto, seeks to apply the momentum progressives have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. JUSTICE IS COMING looks beyond Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment, and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win."

    I have to lean strongly towards Katie Porter simply because she is just a better orator, presenter, and interrogator. We need voices like hers in the Senate.
    That, and, more simply, she's a quarter of a *century* younger. At the end of one term, Barbara Lee will just be another octogenarian in Congress. Wish she had her time twenty years ago and we hadn't had Feinstein, but that ship sailed.

    The one criticism to Katie Porter about a ceasefire doesn’t make too much sense. I believe she would push for it and vote for it once possible. But it takes more than one to pass which is indeed what makes it hard to actually happen.
    You want it immediately but you have everyone else blocking to deal with too.
    However, beyond foreign affairs, she is clearly fit, incorruptible, and speech skilled for both winning this and representing us in CA.

I feel she’s very genuinely care about the people because when she was asked who had inspired her the most, she said her kids. She looks at them and think about what kind of futures she wants them to have. She’s not a career politician. She’s right about Washington not getting things done. I’d give her a chance.

  • @ConvictedFelon2024
    @ConvictedFelon2024 6 місяців тому +7

    As a Californian who has been following this race quite closely, I would like to briefly offer my point of view. The first and most important takeaway of this race as a whole is that progressives _really_ need to start working together -- in Congress, of course, but also in elections. (In this respect, I applaud Ro Khanna's decision to not enter the race.) I share Cenk's fear that Barbara Lee and Katie Porter will split the progressive vote, and as a result we may end up with neither advancing to the general election. Ideally, one of them should drop out before Super Tuesday and endorse the other. I personally favor Katie Porter (primarily for her refusal to accept corporate PAC money and her incredible work in the House holding wealthy executives' feet to the fire), but I would gladly vote for either one. My prediction -- pure speculation, but based on my understanding of polling data -- is that if both stay in the race, the odds that Adam Schiff gets sworn in as our next Senator are 75%. If one drops out and endorses the other before March 5th, those odds fall to about 35%. The choice is a no-brainer; everything rides on whether progressives can (finally) get their act together.

    Katie Porter ruled the debate. You’re absolutely right about Schiff and the big money coming into him! I looked in-depth into his finances and he’s knee deep in with them. I do have concerns about Katie Porter though! Such as her living on campus when she no longer teaches. Yet that a matter to bring up to the regents. Barbara Lee is to me just doesn’t have the whole package. Steve Garvey is what he was, an ex professional ball player. Katie Porter is winning me over! I was an Adam Schiff person because he represents my district. I like where she gets her founding from. Yet I’m still not sure! Time to look deeper into Schiff & Porter!

      I'm from Irvine, CA, Katie Porter is my honorable Democratic Congresswoman, she'll have my vote for the fourth time since 2018.
      Porter is in 40's, Schiff is in 60's and Lee is in 70's. Porter is a better choice for US Senator.

    I don't live in CA and can't vote in this race but based on your description here it seems like Barbra Lee is the no brainier. She not just has the right stance she has the right stance before people come to the collective realization that it is correct. I am tired of people that come to the correct position too late, we need leaders. She is a leader.

    • @Wicky173

      As much as I respect Barbara Lee, Katie Porter is younger and far more dynamic, she would be streets ahead both as a trailblazer and a leader! Vote Katie Porter!

    The reality that CA has the same number of Senators as Wyoming and each of the partisan-divided Dakotas (yep, Republicans cut the territory up in the late 19th century specifically to get two extra Senators) underscores the broken nature of American politics. CA should have 4 Senators, easily, maybe even 5.

    I like Porter because she makes righteous noise. And that is my problem with much of the DNC. They are too quiet, stoic, and unexciting---a very 1980s and 90s formuli. That doesn't mean I am in favor of the Populist form of democracy we see from the right today. But, the Democrats need a few members willing to actively call the right out. I don't see Schiff being able to do that, whereas Porter has proven she can. So, Porter is my choice.

    Thank you for the relatively unbiased review of the debate, and letting us now where the candidates stood on the various issues. I've been a Porter fan for years, and I'm going to write to her now based on your words to talk to her, as a former legislative assistant to Sen Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, how she needs to change her stance on Likud violations of international law.

    Katie Porter is a person with ethics and character. She doesn't take big donor $ either. So she walks her talk. Adam Schiff has been in office for a while. He works hard for the right causes. I confess I have never looked into his campaign financing. I would still vote for him.

    • @Wicky173
      @Wicky173 6 місяців тому

      Why would you ever go past a candidate with ethics and character, who walks her talk and won't be bought? Clearly, you don't care if your candidate can be bribed and may overrule voter's wishes when it suits them! I find that illogical and disappointing!

    Porter/Lee is dividing the progressive vote needlessly. Porter started this primary as a challenge to Boxer who was refusing to quit, everyone else got in only after Boxer said she wouldn't run again. Porter is who we should consolidate behind, she is by far the best communicator with her whiteboard, and has even won in a district that's competetive and was held by a Republican. Lee is a great progressive, but her age means a limited time in office before were in a situation of having a very old senator again.
